The cottage was converted to an open-plan, to contemporary living space, in 2000. The kitchen is Poggenphol and the bathroom Villroy and Boch. The floors are 20mm thick solid oak and there is a wood-burning stove.
If you like to entertain, there is a dining table and chairs that will seat 8 comfortably and an outdoor table and chairs.
The space is small, but well organised. There is an attic room up a fixed wooden stair (that you go down backwards - similar to on a boat!). This room has two velux windows and two single beds. I tend to let the property for two people, plus a dog and/or baby, but not the upstairs space, unless specially requested.
Guests will be advised how to gain access to the cottage shortly before their stay.

The location of the cottage is what sells it. It is next to The Coastal Path and The Ship Inn, but not impinged by either.
There is secondary glazing, so you can sleep through any early morning walkers going past the window. The Ship Inn is just round the corner, so handy for a morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea, an early evening drink, dinner, or a night cap, but in a position so that any noise from there will not disturb you.
Outside 'The Ship' is a well positioned beer garden with cafe and, on some days a BBQ. The view from there (main picture) is wide and open. There is access to the Harbour Beach from there and, when the tide is out, you can walk your dog across the bay to Elie Beach and beyond.
There are lots of places to eat, drink and enjoy sport. Elie has a great 18 hole and a 9 hole golf course, 5 adult and 3 junior tennis courts, a driving range and The Pavilion to have a drink, or a coffee in, after sport. As well as The Ship, there is the 19th Hole and lots of great eating places within a 15 min drive, including 2 Michelin Star restaurants - and if you wish to cook for yourself and friends, a former Farm Shop of the Year, Ardross Farm Shop, is a 2 ml walk, cycle, or drive and you can buy fresh fish and seafood, directly from the fish processing sheds, in the next village.
There is a 95 bus route through Elie that goes round the coast and takes about 45 mins to get to St. Andrews. If you wish to park your car, there are spaces against the sea wall, or on front of The Ship Inn.
I work often in the evenings, however am often around during the day. If you text me regarding an issue, if I am not working, I will get back to you straight away.

Judith's cottage is in a great location for exploring elie . It is right next to beach and the ship inn which was handy for morning coffee and an evening wine . The lane Just outside the apartment takes you to the Coastal path to explore lighthouse or further afield. We had lovely weather so kids were in the sea even though it October. Judith's garden also gets sun so could have morning tea in garden. The communication with Judith was good and the place was easy to find and get into . Cottage was good size for myself and two children . Kitchen okay size and everything easy to find . Had a good stay and would return and would recommend to friends.

Terrific break, lovely cottage, communicative host. Thank you!

A lovely and thoughtfully converted cottage that was both cosy and contemporary. It was a great place for a little break. An excellent location right beside the long beach and the award winning Ship Inn. All arrangements with Judith went smoothly and I'd happily recommend this cottage.

Judith was very helpful but did not impose - got the feeling she would be there if you wanted but respected your privacy. My husband, pooches and myself love it here. The location is idyllic, really is a home from home. Can't wait to get booked for next year. Would highly recommend to anyone. x

MairiNovember 2016

Lovely location near the beach in Elie. Very close to the ship inn which is worth a visit. The flat is very pleasant and perfect for a short break for 2. Garden is ideal for those staying with a dog and the fire place made for a nice cosy evening. The flat is in generally good condition although the bathroom is in need of some redecoration.

1 Double room with large ensuite is available at our pretty cottage which was built in 1815. We are ideally placed for travel around the lovely Fife coastal area and not far from the Fife Coastal Path. Saint Andrews is only 12 miles away.

A large double room overlooking the back garden with newly fitted ensuite bathroom. Two single beds which can be linked together to make a super king is available, however the pics just show a double. I do have another room should a larger family or group require it. Our cottage is 200 years old and we are gradually updating the rooms and our living space. The house was originally used by the Beadle and housed a horse and cart. It was updated in early 1980 but has not been changed since we moved here 18 months ago. It is unique and a lot bigger than it looks.
Kitchen and Lounge. We are 1 mile from Elie which you can walk to along a footpath or along a wooded path. Pittenweem, St Monans, Anstruther are all close by. 36 miles to Edinburgh and Perth and 20 miles to Dundee.
I do enjoy chatting to people but I am quite happy for people to do their own thing and I can just be available for advice or info.

Award winning conservation village which recently won gold for in the annual Scotland in Bloom competition and was also awarded Best Wee Village in Scotland. Very peaceful area close to seaside and golf courses. This is a lovely area for cycling with many quiet roads and of course golf in abundance. The Fife coastal path is 1 mile away.
We have an hourly bus service to St Andrews(95) and to Leven where you can get (X60) buses to Edinburgh. The nearest train station is Markinch or Cupar.
Continental breakfast is included in the price, cereal, fruit, yogurt, help yourself from the fridge and cupboards.
I use a down duvet and cotton bed linen however, if you have allergies to down/feathers then please let me know and I can use a manmade fibre duvet and pillows.

Jacqui was thoughtful and organized in preparing and communicating with me in advance of the visit. She has a genuine warmth that came through in her messages, meticulous and considerate.

PeterAugust 2015

Kilconquhar is a lovely little village near the coast. It's really easy to get down to Elie by car and from there you can do some great coastal walks. Jacqui's cottage was perfect and we couldn't have felt more welcome.

KatieApril 2016

Our first Airbnb experience couldn't have been better. Jacqui and her husband made us very welcome from the time we arrived. The cottage was clean, comfortable and ideally placed for exploring the surrounding area. We would be very happy to stay here again.

TraceyJune 2015

What a lovely break we had staying with Jacqui and Stuart. They could not have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Their home is great, very comfortable and tasteful and they made us feel welcome. The bedroom and en suite is just fabulous, thoughtful touches such as toiletries, tissues and fresh flowers! We would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation and it's hosts.

Lorraine August 2016

Jacqui is very welcoming and everything was perfect when we arrived at her place. The house is awesome, the bedroom has a nice view and the bed and bathroom were large and clean. I would totally recommend this place!

FabioJune 2016

Staying at Jacqui's place was just delightful. The bedroom and bathroom is very comfortable, spotless and beautifully furnished. The bedroom has lots of natural light and a lovely view out to the back garden and beyond to the fields. The location of the house is ideal. The immediate village is so picturesque as are the nearby fishing villages which are so enticing to explore. St Andrews is an easy drive away. Jacqui and her husband Stuart were such generous hosts, making us feel very welcome and assisting with travel plans and making sure we were as comfortable as possible. Jacqui's homemade raspberry jam and scones are so delicious! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

LouiseJuly 2016

A great place to stay. Jacqui made us feel very welcome. We were very comfortable in her home and the house is lovely and convenient

JenniferAugust 2016

Jacqui and her husband Stewart were exceptional hosts. They immediately made us feel a part of the family and welcomed us into their beautiful home. The room was light and fresh and the bathroom was fantastic! Cannot express our thanks enough and we will definitely be back.

Gayle was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay; her house is perfectly situated for an enjoyable stay in the pretty seaside resort of Elie. Parking is easy, as is access to the beach, coastal path and The Ship Inn (5 mins away, and an excellent Pub and restaurant). The house is very clean and comfortable with a well-equipped small kitchen. Be aware that there is no separate dining room, so meals are taken on the small breakfast bar in the kitchen, which is adequate for three people, unless the weather allows alfresco dining. We had a lovely time and would highly recommend 5, Coastguard Cottages.

DavidSeptember 2016

On arrival we were greeted with a personalised postcard , some wine and a locally made cake. The place was spotless and really set up for a easy arrival.

SarahAugust 2016

Gayle was an excellent host, we had good directions to the Property and instructions inside it and a lovely goody bag too! The house was clean and well positioned and had ample room for our family of 5. New en-suite bedroom was very comfortable. Real fire in the lounge made the living room cozy at night. A couple of small issues were easily resolved via text.

The charming family home is a detached former coach house that sleeps 6, has a secure secluded garden and is close to all the attractions & amenities. It is popular with families, couples and small groups for both long weekends and holidays.

The secure secluded patio and garden is a real gem and a great sun-trap. Great for dining outside, relaxing or letting children play. There is a separate dining area as well as the living room and a downstairs master bedroom with access to the patio and garden. There are two bedrooms upstairs with twin beds in each. Both bathrooms have baths with showers.
Clean linen and towels are provided. There are lots of garden furniture and a barbeque for guests to use.
Keys and access are handled by the letting agent Sara Bishop of East Coast Lets or via a secure key safe.

iElie is a very popular weekend break and holiday destination as it has something for everyone. Throughout the year visitors can book to play on one of Scotland's oldest and most scenic links golf courses. There is also the 9 hole "wee course" which is where many golfers (including myself) learned to play the game. In the holidays there are excellent group coaching lessons for children run by the golf professional. There are 5 full tennis courts and 3 mini courts as well as an excellent putting course at the Pavilion which is also a great meeting point for families. There are beautiful beaches in and around Elie with fabulous coastal walks to nearby fishing villages. At the harbour there is a very popular water sports centre where people can either learn or hire a wide range of equipment. The village also has three pubs that all offer food, the most famous of which is the Ship Inn with its beer garden overlooking the sea. Sangsters is a Michelin star restaurant and needs to be booked in advance. There is also a wide range of shops including a newsagent, gift shops, a chemist and a very good deli.
St. Andrews is only a 20 minute car ride away. You can take the coastal road to St. Monans, Pittenweem, Anstruther and Crail.The cottage has off-road parking for 3 cars which is real bonus during the busy holiday spells. There are good local bus services too.
This is a family home and as such has some personal belongings and momentos.

The description of the cottage did not do it justice a fabulous space with everything we needed for a weekend away. Richard was available to answer any questions re check in and out. A quick to a request for a later check out which we really appreciated .

MayMarch 2016

The cottage was lovely, just as described and must be glorious in the summer, with the very private garden, outdoor furniture and huge sliding door opening up the sitting room. But cosy too in a stormy November. Perfect position in the village.

JennieNovember 2015

Quite simply, we had a fantastic time at Kilspindie for my 30th birthday. The living areas were great for us; we laid out dinners in the dining room and afternoon teas in the lounge (while watching the rugby). We were even lucky with the weather and breakfasted outside on the patio (in February!). The bedrooms were fantastic for girls sharing and the two bathrooms were a great hit. We were also surprised as to how well stocked the kitchen was for cooking equipment. All in all it was a great weekend in a peaceful setting. Richard was great to liaise with on Airbnb and key collection was simple. Thanks for a lovely weekend!

IslaFebruary 2016

Fast response from Richard on last minute request, cottage was great, perfect central Elie location for our family quick get away and kids loved being such a short walk from beach.

IainJune 2015

Great accommodation in the centre of Elie. Lovely homely feel on walking into the house. Well kept garden with good quality garden furniture which was great. Plentiful hot water/heating although we didn't use it much but easy to use system. Host very (URL HIDDEN) pack in house could be updated.

JoJuly 2016

The cottage was exactly as described - great for a family weekend away. It was comfortable and very well equipped. Loved the large garden and how close to the beach the house was - less than a 2 minute walk. Great as a base for longer walks - would recommend the Elie to Crail section of Fife Coastal Path.

Lovely, ground floor studio apartment in the heart of the beautiful seaside village of Elie. Only two minutes stroll to golden sands, golf, pub-grub. Just perfect.

Lovely location, very good restaurants nearby. Saw dolphins in the bay. Parking right in front of place. The apartment is well equipped, clean and perfect for short breaks. Stayed 2 nights and hope to be back for longer stay.

A lovely little apartment in a lovely little place. Viv was very helpful and the check in/out process was very straightforward.

JohnMay 2015

Great visit to Elie for the Dunhill golf. Viv's studio is a perfect cosy space with everything you need and Elie itself is beautiful. Very clean and modern studio that felt much more comfortable and private than a hotel would have, and free parking on the street right outside was a bonus! Would definitely recommend and visit again.

CatrionaOctober 2015

Lovely compact studio, clean and suited our needs in the much loved Elie.

Karyn July 2016

Beautifully appointed studio flat in heart of Elie, perfect for our stopover. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the extras such as tea, coffee and fresh milk in the fridge were an unexpected bonus. Only drawback was the noise - although we have been visiting the East neuk for years now we didn't realise the church clock strikes every hour throughout the night. Unforunately this made for a very disrupted night's sleep. Perhaps the clock was faulty, but it would discourage s from booking again, a great pity as this wee place is a gem.

JEFFREYMay 2016

Great little place to stay, bed very comfortable, and location good - what more could you ask for! Thank you for the milk and tea bags - a welcoming touch. Good communication from Viv.

LucyMay 2016

Viv's studio apartment is really clean and comfortable. Perfect for 2 people. I think the apartment has underfloor heating which was great after coming in out the cold. Elie itself, very nice, beautiful beach but very hard to get somewhere to eat. One of the pub/restaurants was too busy and disappointing, another didn't have any tables. No mini markets to buy anything in. However I wud be happy to go back but would take better supplies with me. 10/10 for Viv's apartment.

Hi Stayed at This flat in Elie , very close to beach and some shops with lovely view , cosy wood burner ! And dog friendly xxwould recomend ship inn for food !!

KarenFebruary 2016

First of all, Elie is a wonderful little seaside town, the accommodation itself is in a marvellous location. We didn't meet Scott, but he was always contactable. Initially a few teething problems, but Scott sorted these out for us remotely. We would recommend this accommodation as a base to explore the area, there is plenty room within the apartment, great value for money.

ColinMarch 2016

A really good find! Great location in the heart of Elie, spacious, and fab value for money. Loved walking out from the property directly to the beaches, local shops, and coastal path. Recommended!

RobertMay 2016

This was a great location for a wee weekend away in Elie! Literally right across the street from the bus stop which was super convenient, and a very cute place. Scott was very accommodating, even making the house ready for us early. Very clean, spacious, etc. No real complaints other than that it was a bit inconvenient to have to bring our own linen, and if we didn't live nearby it might have been a dealbreaker for us. But Scott has a way for linen to be provided (for a fee) so there is that option if people are coming from out of town. Elie was very cute, definitely nice place for a weekend trip!

TeresaMay 2016

We had a lovely time at this flat. It's very basic but has everything you need. It is in a great location, 100m from the beach and restaurants are nearby! Scot was really helpful and kindly allowed us to leave at a later time on the Sunday. Elie is a beautiful place and I would definitely recommend visiting !

AnaMay 2016

We loved our time in Elie, we go every year but never stayed here, it was really great, spacious and had a homely feel, well equipped with everything you needed. Couldn't say a bad thing about the flat, it was really lovely. Scott was so nice and made us feel right at home, very quick to get back to us if we had a question. We will be back for sure; thanks again

EstherApril 2016

This is a large second floor flat in a lovely quiet village with beautiful clean beaches and friendly people. Flat has kitchen, living room, three bedrooms, one bath and one shower room. The shower room has no toilet which wasn't clear from the listing. We had issues with items not being available/there, when we were told they were, and with a very temperamental boiler. Scott did get a heating engineer out to the flat as soon as he could, and it worked better after that. Missing items were, we think, due to miscommunication with the cleaning staff Scott uses - you need to take toilet roll, dishwasher tablets, teatowels, dishcloths, tea and coffee, and also all your own firewood and kindling/matches if you want to use the wood burner. There is a shop across the road but when we arrived in the really evening it was closed. The flat, while large and convenient, needs some TLC and updating - shower room has cracked and dirty tiles, the cooker/oven is difficult to use as all markings have worn off, the washing machine leaked when used, and the DVD player didn't work. All thing that really, for the price and impression from the listing, should not have been an issue. Overall its a nice flat in a lovely area, perfect for visiting areas around. Anstruther is gorgeous, and we loved the food at The Nineteenth Hole - just a 15 min walk from the flat (they don't do food on Tuesdays). The Ship Inn was nice but very expensive. Around 1h 20 mins drive to Edinburgh, and about 30 mins into St Andrews.

A beautiful contemporary villa in the picturesque coastal village of Elie, near St Andrews.
Set in the grounds of the magnificent 17th century Elie House, close to sandy beaches and challenging links. Treescape sleeps up to ten in style.

Designed to exacting contemporary standards, this luxurious villa features original artwork, Scandinavian-influenced design and thoughtful touches such as high-end mattresses and super-soft linen, TVs in every room and mountain bikes and wet suits for guests to use.
Treescape has five elegant, flexible bedrooms, generous living spaces, a beautifully equipped kitchen and the latest media systems.
The extensive use of glass throughout bathes the house in soft Scottish light.
You will have exclusive use of the villa, with more than seven acres of beautiful shared gardens and woodland to explore.
During July and August, Christmas and Hogmanay, we have a minimum let of seven nights. At all other times of the year, the minimum let is three nights.
We leave you free to enjoy all that Treescape has to offer but are only ever a phone call away.

Elie is a gorgeous seaside village, with long sandy beaches and a laid-back vibe. The local pub is right on the harbour wall and there's water sports, tennis and, of course, golf.
A few miles drive along quiet coastal roads (or walk along the stunning Fife Coastal Path) takes you to charming fishing villages, country houses and some of the best seafood anywhere.
The famous town of St Andrews, home to the Old Course and ancient university, is only 20 minutes away. Here you'll find the stunning West Sands, heritage aplenty, modern shopping and a great selection of places to eat and drink: modern and traditional; unpretentious and hip alike.
A car is pretty much essential, though the local bus links all the villages along this coast, on to St Andrews.
The nearest mainline train station is around 15 miles away. Edinburgh International Airport is around 75 minutes away.
We offer high standard professional cleaning before and after your stay, inclusive in the price.
Wi-fi, cable TV with full Sky package (including Sports and Movies), all utilities and welcome pack is also included in the price of your stay.

This was our first AirBnb experience and it was excellent. Property was exactly as described. The property was in excellent condition and in such a beautiful setting. Simon was very easy to communicate with and responded quickly to every concern or request. Treescape was an ideal location for two families on vacation. We split our time in Scotland between Edinburgh and St. Andrews and only wished we could have spent more time there. We ate at the Pavillion and 19th hole restaurants in Elie and enjoyed good food! Also the Cocoa tree cafe in Pitenweem is not to be missed. Thank you Simon for sharing this amazing vacation home!

MitchellMarch 2016

Treescapes is a fantastic place to stay, we enjoyed a great time over the Ryder Cup weekend. Elie is a beautiful town on the ocean and has some great places to eat and shop. Special mention to The Ship Inn. We came to play golf and will be back as St Andrews and the other gems on the Fife Coast deserve more than a long weekend. Simon made the booking process easy and answered our enquiries promptly, he is a great host. The house is modern, comfortable and welcoming, the grounds are exquisite, we were basked in incredible light and beautiful scenery, which made each day start and end so well. Looking forward to returning here soon. Thanks Simon

ZoeOctober 2014

Superb break in a wonderful house. The beach was within walking distance but we also just enjoyed spending time in both the relaxing house and the surrounding grounds. Loverly design features and we felt "at home" from the moment we walked through the door. Communication with host very good throughout.

MorcApril 2016

Our golfing group of 8 loved Treescape. It's beautifully decorated and every detail thought of. Simon was a delightful host; emails answered immediately, he offered information about the area and the temperature we'd like for the house upon arrival. The entire transaction was enjoyable. The decor and amenities of the house are impeccable. Our group is already looking forward to staying here again. Thank you again, Simon.

JulieJuly 2014

We communicated via email and text right up to arrival so things all felt very organised. The place was stunning - just as described. Very high quality accommodation with good facilities and in beautiful surroundings. Getting 10 people, 8 of them aged 21 - 28, out for 10a.m. on the day of leaving was a challenge after a family wedding nearby the day before - so the cleaning team was waiting as we bundled out = guilty feelings!

SalliSeptember 2015

Treescape was beyond our expectations as a location for our whole family to celebrate my father's 80th birthday. Our host, Simon, made sure of our every comfort in luxurious, modern and spotlessly clean accommodation. In particular, the downstairs bedroom with walk in shower was perfect for my elderly parents. All arrangements were made with ease and immediate responses to any communications. Simon was flexible with our arrival time and could not have been a more considerate host. We arrived to a very generous welcome basket brimming with carefully chosen quality products which was a lovely touch, making us feel at home right away. The house provided everything you could ask for in terms of equipment and tasteful furnishings. The kitchen was a pleasure to cook in with large fridge and freezer and also a large bottle cooler fridge which was a real bonus for a large group. The knives were sharp and everything worked!!! The chefs in our family were very happy!!! The beds were extremely comfortable and 3 of the 5 rooms could be made up as twins or large king size. The showers were fabulous. Sky was available in all of the rooms with separate boxes so everyone could watch their own programmes although there was so much to do and see that we did not spend a lot of time with television having been lucky with the weather. We thoroughly enjoyed walking in the beautiful grounds and the views from the house were spectacular. We had fun with and outdoor skittles provided and enjoyed the seating and outdoor space to the back of the property. There was plenty of parking available and neighbours were very friendly. The village of Elie was just gorgeous and was within easy walking distance of the house. The harbour was lovely and the local pubs were very friendly. We visited Anstruther, Crail and St Andrews all within easy reach. We would visit again in a flash and are only looking for the next excuse for a family get together. Well done Simon. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Traditional lovely Cottage on the Village Green near the beach and Golf course in the beautiful village of Elie in the East Neuk of Fife, 3 bedrooms with a sunny Courtyard at the back of the property. Gas central heating and an Open Fire place ,Wi Fi

Lovely 3 bedroom Cottage close to the beech and Golf course.
Access is normally from 3pm and check out is at 10am .
We normally check guests in and are contactable during your stay. Minimum stay is for 2 nights .

Elie is a beautiful coastal village with real Scottish charm and historical interest.
There is a bus stop near then property with regular buses to St Andrews and Edinburgh and Glasgow. Great coastal walks and biking areas exist all around Elie and the East Neuk of Fife. There are local taxi services and the nearest train stations are at Markinch and Leuchars near St Andrews.

This was a wonderful trip - right from the off, Alastair was efficient, friendly, warm and helpful. The cottage was beautifully decked out with a seaside theme, and was very well maintained. Greenview was well equipped with all the bits and pieces we needed to pick up life in a home-from-home, and was in the perfect location to access Elie. Equidistant between the harbour / Ship Inn and the golf course / main beach meant that we could be anywhere within the town in a few minutes. The cottage was warm in the evenings, despite the sub-zero temperatures outside! The wood fire was the perfect way to heat the main living room. All five of us slept soundly in very comfy beds - and the grownups were suitably soundproofed in the main bedroom from the children upstairs! Alastair was solicitous, making sure we were well provided for, without being overbearing. Access on the first day was straightforward, as was leaving at the end. He also helped us source a couple of extra items to make our stay more comfortable. All in all, the cottage was the perfect base for our holiday, and as a host, Alastair took the stress out of renting somewhere to stay. Elie has always been a favourite, and it was great to introduce the children to it from such a lovely HQ. Thanks!

SapphireFebruary 2016

Your cottage is really lovely and has absolutely everything necessary to make for a comfortable stay. We also were delighted by the friendly response from everyone we met in Elie and I certainly plan to return soon. Thank you both for showing us round your beautiful house and for making us feel so welcome. Anne and Colin

From the moment that I booked this cottage, the hosts made every effort possible to make our trip memorable. Constant and productive communication and quick answers to all of the questions that I had. Upon arrival, there was a bottle of wine and a nice note welcoming us to the beautiful little village of Ellie. We arrived early in the morning, 0100. The keys were left in the back lockbox, and the hosts made sure that we had accurate directions to quickly acquire the keys. We went straight to bed that morning without really looking through the house in detail. Upon waking up later in the day, we started digging through the kitchen for food as we were hungry from the long trip. To our pleasant surprise, we had eggs, bagels and OJ ready for a quick breakfast before our big day out and about. The house was exactly what we needed. Small, but spacious enough for the four of us. Clean and confortable thoughout. Wireless internet was a nice tough as was the easy to use cable tv. The fireplace was usefull for the colder Scotland coastal nights, and added to the homey-ness of the experience. The house is in the perfect location. The beach outside the backdoor, a pub with great food just across the street, a pharmacy and small grocery store a two minute walk down the sidewalk. 18 minute drive from St Andrews, 15 minutes from Kingsbarn. 25 minutes from the Crail courses. An hour from Gleneagles. Edinburgh airport is an hour drive. Bus and train access is very close and convenient. There is a full grocery store 10-15 minutes from the house. Amazing fish and chips is in Ansthruther. Must go to Anstruther's Fish Bar. AMAZING food and ice cream! We ate dinner there twice in five days. Overall our vacation was perfect. Scotland is amazing! Ellie is amazing. Fife is amazing. The house couldn't have been better. We will definitely be revisiting Scotland, and when we do, we will book Greenview Cottage again!!!!

Alastair was very helpful and proactive in ensuring that arrangements were in place for our arrival and for when we left. The cottage was lovely and well equipped. The location was fabulous and the kids loved the proximity to the beach. It was a great base from, which to explore. We would definitely recommend the cottage and area to others.

DanielApril 2016

Very cosy cottage in idyllic location. Thoroughly enjoyed our time at Greenview Cottage despite the weather! The cottage has bags of character and is right in the heart of Elie...great coastal walks on the doorstep. Fab Deli across the road...definitely strongly recommend!

Great for families with kids and golfing parties. Situated near the beach with plenty of golf courses nearby and good local pubs.

All communication with Jose was quick & straightforward. Jose came to meet us & make us welcome & she even baked a cake too! The house was immaculate & had all the necessary facilities plus it was in an ideal location. We had a great couple of days - Jose was a good host & she even organised the weather too!

DavidAugust 2016

Lovely stay here. Great location and house is well stocked - all you need and more in the kitchen and a good supply of DVDs and games. Lovely touch was the homemade brownies and fresh flowers.

JudithJune 2016

Had a great stay in Elie - the house was lovely, had everything you could need and was in the perfect location - only 2 minutes walk to the beach. Jose made us feel very welcome (even baking a cake for our arrival!) There was plenty room for six of us, I would definitely recommend Jose's cottage to others.

AmyJune 2016

Jose met us on arrival and we were made to feel very welcome. The chocolate brownies were a pleasant surprise! The house was clean and very well equipped. DVDs, books, games and even wet suits and body boards for kids! There is a great cafe and deli just around the corner, and the Ship Inn which does fantastic food and ale, is 2 minutes away next to the beach. Highly recommended!

We had a fabulous holiday in Elie, even the weather behaved!! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jose's holiday house. The house was spacious and exactly as described, on arrival delicious home baked brownies left for us to enjoy. The house is located in an ideal location, easy walking distance to shops, beach, restaurants, golf, tennis etc. The house was very clean, comfortable and exceptionally well equipped with lots of information on 'what to do' in and around Elie. Jose was very welcoming, helpful and friendly. I would highly recommend this accommodation and we hope to return for our same 2 weeks next year. Thank you Jose

My place is close to Elie beach, Elie Deli, and the Ship Inn. You’ll love my place because of the location, the high ceilings, and the cosiness. My place is good for families (with kids) and big groups.

Beautiful cottage in the centre of Elie. Had a lovely stay with friends. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Rebecca October 2016

We were a family of 3 adults and 2 young children 6 and 3 years. 35a high street Elie is a true gem with immaculate decor, great ease of use! Well presented with great attention to detail. A warm feeling throughout. Great time had by all a few friends who dropped by for coffee also thought it was just perfect. Highly recommend. Julie's communication was excellent and professional.

CampbellJuly 2016

We had a very enjoyable stay here. The house is lovely and very well appointed. Close to the beach and the deli. We hope to return again soon!

StephenOctober 2016

Fantastic stay - would definitely recommend.

annaAugust 2016

The weekend was absolutely just what we wanted, a quiet break in a lovely setting. The location was perfect, Elie is a very atmospheric little seaside town. The house was very well equipped and met all our needs. Bright, spacious and comfortable. Great kitchen/diner for a dinner with friends. Only crit: a bit spartan with soft furnishing throughout. Would definitely consider another short stay.

IainSeptember 2016

We spent a lovely long weekend in this cottage. It is on the High Street, right in the centre of Elie but with free on street parking. The house is beautifully decorated and it was a pleasure to spend a weekend there. Minutes from the beach where we spent most of our weekend. Many thanks.

Please note we will only accept bookings for a maximum of two guests and ordinarily for a minimum of 3 nights.

Elaine is such a wonderful host! As sweet as can be! The Doocot is a beautiful home and setting for golf travelers to St. Andrews!!! Plenty of room for two golfers with clubs and close to town!

The listing was exactly how we found the apartment, perfect for a self-catering week in Fife. The surrounding area left me plenty to see and do in this quite cottage, but with easy access to St. Andrews and not far from Edinburgh or even the highlands. Elaine was courteous and private and helped with anything I needed. I was very pleased with the stay and would recommend Elaine and her cottage to anyone.

ThomasAugust 2016

The Doocot is a beautiful cottage set in a tranquil Scottish garden next to one of the many golf courses in Scotland. Elaine is a perfect host, non intrusive but close by if you need assistance. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome pack waiting for us with milk, eggs, wine and a few other essentials. We had our own garden area and outdoor seating at the back and front of the cottage. The cottage is well equipped with a good kitchen, washing machine Netflix to mention but a few but we felt the mattress is coming to the end of its life. The village is a short drive away and there are a few good choices for dinner. I would stay here again if I am in this part of the country again.

DeniseAugust 2016

Fantastic little pad with a real homely feel, complete with Netflix and Amazon Prime! Great location to access all the little coastal towns and surrounded with gorgeous countryside with views to the sea! We will likely return again and would highly recommend!!!

Elaine & Robert were lovely hosts. The Doocot was a home away from home, everything we needed for our 3 night stay. The cottage was within 15 minutes of St Andrews & the golf courses, which was the purpose of our visit to watch the Dunhill links championship. A little warning about the Charleton golf course, right next door to the Doocot - we met the owner who initially seemed very nice - my husband mentioned that he would love to play the course & was told he could borrow a set of clubs & play for free. The next morning, he went out & played 9 holes. That afternoon, we dropped back into the club house for a meal & were promptly charged £30 for a terrible meal & the so called 'free golf'. We were very disappointed. But we would highly recommend the Doocot - it was perfectly clean & warm & inviting. From the welcome bottle of wine, bread, milk & eggs - to Robert giving us a freshly cooked lobster for dinner!! The towels & bedding smelt devine, would love to know what fabric softener they use! Just the little touches. We were impressed & very comfortable during our stay. Thanks again!!

LisaOctober 2016

Have just returned from a 4 nights stay at the Doocot. A lovely place to stay - warm, cosy and spotless with all the facilities we needed. Elaine responded quickly to our questions and called to check we were OK. She and Robert were both warm and friendly. We hope to return and would recommend without hesitation.

I love having visitors. It's important that you enjoy your stay. I'm happy to help in any way I can. So if you need anything, just ask.

The East Neuk of Fife is very historic. This little village has been around for over a thousand years. Golf has been played here since 1500. In more recent times the beautiful beaches and miles of coastal walks have attracted many visitors. It is a great place to relax and unwind. The beach is great even on the wildest of days and if you fancy a dip I have a supply of wetsuits to make it a bit warmer!
When you have done with the outdoors Earlsferry has a lovely gastro pub the 19th Hole just a few minutes walk away. The refurbished Ship Inn, with waterside beer garden and Michelin starred Sangsters Restaurant are within walking distance. There is Golf, Tennis and Putting for all ages at the Pavillion.
There are regular buses along the coast and to St Andrews. There is also free parking outside the house for those with their own transport.

Kate was a superhost and available for anything we needed. Location and room were great for a couple nights while we attended the British Open at St. Andrews (20 Minute Car ride). We would hesitate and are looking forward to our next visit to this gorgeous part of Scotland.

Well modernised, detached, property on coastal walks and a `short drive' away from St. Andrews, the home of golf. Easily sleeps four with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, lounge diner and upper recreation room with superb coastal views. Also something for the artist and geologist.
A collapsible cot and kiddies high chair are also on the property, as required with a 5th bed available, if requested.

Built in 1784 located in Conservation Area and is a listed building constructed over 3 floors.
House is only occupied by guests. There is a downstairs utility room with washing machine and a set of golf clubs, if required. Plenty for the kids here also with a scooter, skate board, buckets and spades and fishing nets for crab pools on the front. We hope to have bicycles for use in 2017.
Guests can contact the owners direct in the event of problems. We are only 30 minutes away!

The house is located in the harbour of St. Monans with the Fife Path coastal walks available in either direction (west and east). Great seafood available opposite the property during the high season with many outlets available locally for all tastes (see our web-site www.eastneuk-harbourside.co.uk for further details). All manner of culinary delights are available including ostrich from the local Chinese 'Wok and Spice'!
Splendid geology in the foreshore during low tide, books are provided . St. Andrews is approximately 25 minutes away by car but there are other courses available closer by for non-members.
There is a health/fitness (pilates) club in the village.
The area located in the 'East Neuk' of Fife. Great for walks but own transport or local is needed to get further afield. Regular buses run to St. Andrews and Elie.
This is a very peaceful location far away from the 'maddening crowd', with jigsaws and board games and a limited number of DVDs are available also at "Harbourside". You are invited to make use of painting and drawing facilities 'in-house'. There is a well-used guitar(and tuner) available and a key board (on request). The Fife Coastal Path links the local fishing villages along this part of the Forth Estuary.

Fantastic house! Great views over the harbour and had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing stay.

AlisonSeptember 2016

This place exceeded expectation. It was beautiful & stylish and perfectly met our requirements. The location was excellent with stunning views from every window. Every detail had been thought of to make our stay comfortable.

GillSeptember 2016

This lovely harbour cottage has everything you could want and more! It is very well equipped, warm, clean and has beautiful views over the harbour. It is peaceful, the local people are friendly and helpful and the coastal walks are superb, especially with children. We would recommend a walk along the coastal path to Pittenweem and Anstruther where there are plenty of places to get onto the rocky shore line and have fun climbing around and discovering things. These small fishing towns are delightful and Anstruther has a variety of places to eat (we would recommend the Waterfront restaurant - the food is fantastic and the staff are second to none!). Overall, a wonderful couple of days away, a great cottage and superb hosting from Davina.

MariaOctober 2016

Beautiful and very peaceful village. Flat was perfect, comfy and clean. We had everything what we need and even more. Our host was very helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend the place.

MałgorzataSeptember 2016

A fantastic short break in St Monans. Davina made us feel very welcome and we especially appreciated all the extra touches that awaited us upon arrival. The property was exactly as described and if anything we have to say the views are even better than anticipated. It was wonderful to watch the ever changing light on the Firth of Forth. Davina's communication was superb both before and during our stay. We will definitely recommend this property to friends and family and will be looking for reasons to return again in the future.

We've been coming to Shell Bay since we were little. Great memories of adventures and good times, it's the ideal base for exploring all of the East Neuk and its secrets. The van enjoys a quiet on-site location and is a pebble's throw from the beach.

Our caravan is situated at the far end of the campsite, enjoying a quiet location and is a pebble's throw from the beach. Here's what the caravan has:
Sitting area:
• TV with in-built DVD player
• Gas fire
• L-shaped seating (an adult could sleep comfortably on one side too)
• Dining table with L-shaped seating and stool
• Door leading out onto wrap-around deck
• Some board games
Kitchen area:
• Gas hob, grill and oven
• Microwave, kettle and toaster
• Fridge (please note: no freezer box!)
• Crockery, cutlery and cookware
• Kitchen cupboard essentials (tea/coffee, salt & pepper, oil, some spices – help yourself)
• High chair
Bedrooms
• 1 double, with mini wardrobe and cupboard space
• 2 x twin rooms, each with a mini cupboard
• Electric heaters in bedrooms (twin rooms have them on the ceiling)
• Travel cot
• Duvet and pillows (PLEASE NOTE: guests bring their own linen and towels)
Shower room
• Deep-pan shower, with plug (suitable for bathing young children)
• Wash basin with kids' stool
• First aid kit
• Separate WC room
Outside
• Wrap-around decking (with lockable gate, handy for keeping kiddies contained!)
• Folding chairs and table
There are 2 doors into the caravan itself. On booking, we will give you directions on how to find our caravan on the site, and the code to access the key lock.
As the caravan is self-contained, we leave our guests alone to enjoy themselves throughout their visit. If you need any help however, we are always at the end of a phone to ensure you have as relaxed a stay as possible.

Shell Bay is the ideal place from which to base yourself for a break exploring the East Neuk of Fife and beyond. For walkers, there is the Fife Coastal Path, and the infamous Chain Walk, both accessible directly from the site. Many attractions are within a short drive away, such as Kellie Castle, Scotland's Secret Bunker and Craigtoun Country Park, to name just a few. Anstruther is just along the road if you fancy some world-famous fish and chips, and St. Andrews is a 20 minute drive and Edinburgh about an hour away.
Amenities on site --
Shop: there's a little shop on-site selling basic groceries, papers, ice cream and kids' toys
Clubhouse: large bar (with entertainment in the evenings)
Restaurant: serves brunch and dinner and has a kids’ menu. Coffees and teas too
Amusements: various machines and pool tables
Park: Robinson Crusoe adventure playpark
Laundry: there are washing facilities at the tourer area of the site
You can comfortably park 2 cars beside the caravan. Shell Bay itself isn't easily accessible via public transport, although nearby Elie (around 1 mile away) is serviced by a bus. We'd recommend coming by car, or bike if you're a seasoned cyclist.
What you'll need to bring:
• Food and drinks!
• Your own bed linen and towels (there are duvets and pillows there)
• Extra towels if you fancy a dip in the sea!
• A portable BBQ if you want to – but please be careful and use this only on the stones around the caravan, NOT the grass or the decking!

Thank for a fantastic stay. The caravan was cosy and clean and in a great position within the site for beach access. All communication with Julie was seamless and accurate and even though she was on holiday at the time of our visit, we were kindly left a welcome note and delicious shortbread. We hope to be back again to Shell Bay soon x

AngelaJuly 2016

Julie welcomed us with a fresh bunch of Tulip & a welcome note. And some guide about what to do in Elie. She also texted us at least once a day to check that everything is fine. The caravan is exactly as its described. As a family with young ones, we like the caravan. It's a very nice place to spend a long & relaxed weekend. Thanks Julie!

CeciliaMay 2016

Thanks a lot Julie for making us feel very welcome. You were a fantastic host and also for providing clear instructions about everything. Very clean caravan.
